New York Commercial Advertiser.
A personal expedition to the Western part of
our country is apt to open mans eyes to
good many things unknown imperfectly I'M
Gerstood before. Senator Platt, of Connecticut,
who has been West on tour of official lnvesti-
CATION, has had his eyes opened to the In
dian problem. and his report will have the effect
of opening the eyes of the public in general.
Without going too far into details. it shows. in
brief, that under the present system of tribal
ownership the Indians possess vastly more land
the earth, and, furthermore make poor
of their magnificent real estate holdings it is
possible for any people to make.
The Osages, mum beriug about ], 800 souls
cupy a reservation of 1,500 600 acres. The
Iowas. numbering only eighty-four. all told. hold
228 Alb acres. The Kickapoos, 240 IN all. hold
2O6 466 acres. Fifty-tw Quawpaws hold DC, 985
acres sixty-Dine Shawnees hold Ii. 04S acres, 225
Kansas hold 100. 137 acres, and so forth and so
of the finest tracts Of fertile land in the world,
comprises about "A, 600. 900 acres. and is occupied
by and reserved for about so, 600 Indians Three
quarters of these civilized, or com paratively
civilized, bnt the remaining uncivilized quarter,
it so happens occupy more than half the Terri
tory-in exact figures. "a, 36S, 439 acres are occu
pied by Is, 469 persons, mostly savage and IN
progressive Indians, who do not cultivate the
land or only cultivate it enough to provide
bare subsistence for themselves.
The severalty law. now going into opera
ton, will tend to abate the manifest evils and
absurdties OF this condition of affairs. It will
secure each Indian, in the majority of the
tribes, sufficiently large homestead, and will
release for settlement a large amount OF land

Baseball Notes.

In Philadelphia they think Glasscock is an
overrated player
1t is said Phil Powers will not umpire a single
game in Detroit this year So eep-seated s the
hatred against him there it is believed he would
be chased off the field the moment he set fooe
on if.
Two picked mines from the When and Model
clothing stores will play game at the EXPOSE
ton grounds this afternoon Admission will be
free and spectators will be allowed to use the
seats in the grand amphitheater.
A change in the present system of umpiring is
favored largely by number of baseball men.
1t is proposed to hire frstclass men for the staff
and to have one manager of the staff to have
jurisdiction over both associations and also to
instruct the umpires themselves.
1t is suggested that the ball-players who are
Directing being ''sold like slaves" forget that
if it were not for the national agreement, which
makes this possible, they would not be worth a
dollar in the market and that their value ex-
pressed in salary, would be correspondingly
small.

What Is Thought of Boyle.

Pittsburg paper has this to say of the lead
ing pitcher of the indianapolis players:
Boyle. who occupies the box occasionally for
the Hoosiers is the most graceful pitcher who
stepped into the box at Recreation Park
He is not only the most graceful but also the
most deceptive. To see him at work, one would
almost be convinced that the home team would
tear him to pieces, easy are his movements
and so slow does the ball cross the plate After
one or two innings, however. the spectators tum-
BILE to the fact that Mr. Boyle is somewhat of a
pitcher And they are right. He uses such lit
tie effort that it is hardly exaggerating the thing
to say that he could pitch for twenty four hours
without any difficulty. He hasn't that habit of
kissing and squeezing the ball peculiar to some
pitchers, which delays the game unnecessarily.
His movements are as natural as they possibly
could be. and they accompanied with such
little exertion that one is astonished. He's what
the small bows would call 'lallah'n

now tied up in the reservations. But the
seyeralty law does not touch the five socalled
civilized tribes which hold some twenty million
acres in the Indian Territory, and, so far they
are concerned the evils of tribal ownership Will
go before
The Indian should be treated justly and
kindly. He should be civilized, if possible, and
given good chance to advance. But the red
men should not be codded or granted any more
favors than granted to white and BLACK men.
The idea Of reserving such an enormous amount
of land for few Indians who do not care for 1t
or make any use of it is preposterous on It's face.
One by our public men are beelnning TO see
the point The Indians ought to have much
land as they need, and no more. In this matter
of Indian management the sentimentalists have
had their inning, and pretty long one, too; the
practical men, it is to be hoped, now going to
have theirs.

A Little Short Farewell.

found my love in April,
l lost my love in May;
With the buds he came to WOO me,
When they bloomed he went away,
And | care not for the flowers
Nor for anything in May.
When he went he kissed me- saying,
Its little short farewell,
But the summer will not bring him,
Tho it ring the funeral knell
OF fond and true heart broken
BY "a little short farewell"
All the roses see ma weeping,
And they try to comfort me,
But they only make me sadder-
Make me weep the more to sec
That the roses love me better,
And are faithfuler than he.
All, for me there is no comfort,
And for me there is no May,
For It's love that makes the seasons
In woman's heart Away.
Faithless love brings drear December,
Faithful love brings rosy May.

An October Congress.

Washington Special
The impression the President gave before
leaving Washington was that it was practically
settled that there would be a session of Congress
called for October and that the new justice
could then be confirmed. Secretary Bayard, by
an inadvertence the other day, gave the same
impression as to the meeting of Congress.
When asked about something that ought to be
done, ne replied that it would probably be set
tied in October, when Congress met He twice
repeated that it would have to go over until
October. These signs make it appear that It is
already understood between the President and
his Cabinet that extra session is TO be called.
